Hello toot! I saw Hop Sing on the other day. Welcome aboard!
I found my enjoyment of the Haunted Isle does sometimes depend on level and type of character you have. I've taken a 15-20 level cleric in and had a blast, but the crypt was impossible alone...well, without a continuous respawn-fest, that is!
Later, though, she had no problems with either of the big baddies there, on her own. Ahem, by which I mean she only respawned a few times... [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]
My other chars have done it with company, which is really a fun way to do just about anything in Undermountain if you're in a sociable mood!
I take new chars through the inn, into Waterdeep and the tradeway area and then usually to the first level or so of the Undermountain to get their proverbial feet wet, as it were. Teaming up is a good way to do some quests farther down and often a good way for new characters to survive long enough to get to the lower levels, LOL, but remember that if you have a low level char and pair up with high levels they will bring the xp level down for the lighter weight bad guys (lighter for them, not so light for your new pc!
). Still, some days you won't really care about that so much as actually making it PAST that nasty minotaur and rust monster or a few bone golems and high level wizards here and there.
